chapter 3: destroyed or destroying
"the world will not be
destroyed by those who
do evil, but by those who
watch them without
doing anything "
-Albert Einstein
"DESTROY IT!" her voice was ragged and dry as she screamed out her disgust at the sight of the abomination that she just moments ago gave birth to, and now lay in the nurse's arms that lean in towards her.
"KILL IT KILL IT!" she pushed herselfto sit up right shaking her head in protest hands fly up and push the monstrosity as far away from her as possible.
"Dear this is our son..." she felt disgusted as she saw her husband take that thing from the nurse who stood straight a look on her face she couldn't quite place.
"IT WILL NEVER BE MY CHILD!" turning her head away from her approaching husband form, her skin began to crawl as she felt him sit next to her on the king sized bed, but at the close proximity of her new born hatred the bed felt no bigger then a bare-bone camping cot.
she turned on her side pulling the plan white cotton sheets up to lay in a wrinkle mess under her chin, keeping her back facing her husband she never turned away from her husband before now, leaving her with an empty feeling that pained her physically so much she had to bring her knees up and into herself trying to protect herself from the deepening void that started to fill her.
"rest my love I'llcome to you later this evening" she wanted to reach out to her husband at hearing his pained sigh, fighting with herself and her need to comfort him she missed him rise from the bed, the battle with herself stopped and remaining completely still. hearing him take a few steps away from the bed then back to the bed, she felt him looking at her then holding back a sob that fought to come out as her husband left a sweet loving kiss atop her head, he lingered there.
when she finely heard the door closed she felt herself let go of a breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding.
eyes beginning to feel heavy she let them slid close, but as soon as they closed they snapped back open, anger coming to the surface she wanted to rip her own flesh off her bone. discussed with herself she got out of bed pulling at her sleeping gown on her way to the bathroom, standing in the bathroom naked turning on the hot wather all the way.
she let the oversized tub fill all the way up to where when she got in the water if she didn't step lightly the water would go over the sides. as she reached down to turn the water the steam coming off the water has filled the bathroom leaving the walls mirror and everything else the steam came in contact with.
hissing to the empty bathroom as she lowered her body further and further until her mouth was in the water blowing out, the water danced on the surface her skin began to tingle her flesh told her to get out but she didn't listen, instead she fell asleep only waking to a worried nurse that was fussing over her. she really didn't understand why until the nurse said this might hurt a little, only turning her head to look at the nurse with a confusing look as to why she would say that. a very intense pain jolted everywhere the silky robe laid on her slightly burned flesh, the pain caused her to take three large steps back and away from the nurse that still held the robe.
it took four nurses to help hold her down so that she could be heard, but for some reason she kept saying "leave me to burn!" the head nurse had to explain to the mad woman's husband. he didn'tsay much just tilted his head and thanked her and her staff in helping his confused wife.
everyone left the room leaving him with his wife and new mother to his baby, he sat at her bedside holding her now fully healed hand in both of his huge hands. his mind kept bringing back his wife and her hate laced words for their new born son. he remembered the day his wife told him the joyful news, how now that memory feels like nothing more then a dream one that mocked him now in the present.
himself and his lovely wife sui-san both have a gene that not very many Eternals have, they both knew that the possibility of having a child with this particular gene would happen. sui-san never said much about it but he never pushed the issue.
over the passing years sui-san hate never diminished but instead seem to grow with her son thanos, thanos would ask his father A' Lars why his mother never touched him or looked or even talked to him. A'Lars was at a loss not knowing what to tell his youngest son, he would just put his arm around the young son and say the only thing he could to soothe his young ones lonly heart,
"My son that is not my story to tell your mother is the only one to answer the question your heart seeks, but never feel any less loved or lost for you will always be within mine no matter what may happen or what comes to pass."
Thanos wanted nothing more then to gain his mother's love and Sai-san knew this she seen it and it made her hate the young teen thanos even more, one morning she called to the young boy to come and walk around the castle grounds with her Thanos seeing the chance to finely ask his lovely mother the question that he has held inside for so long.
the air was cold and the sky was gray a fog was coming in fast but thanos mother kept walking out farther away from the castle, thanos felt uneasy but kept up with his mother anyway. deciding he should ask his mother the question now before he loses his nerve.
"mother..." thanos said not noticing how sui-san flinched at him saying the loving term
"yes my son?" sui-san felt her insides turn.
"why do you treat me different then my brothers and sisters?" thanos looked at his mother after he finished the question not noticing that she stopped walking, the blank expression on her lovely face.
thanos was about to ask his mother what was the matter, but she spoke first.
"A'Lars asked me why also way i held such dislike towards you... I never told him why but I guess its just right to let you know the truth behind my action"
Thanos stepped back from his approaching mother, her eyes full of a new kind of hate she seem to have grown in height looming over him as he felt like he was getting smaller, thanos never felt such fear before especially from his mother.
"the deviant that grows with you is something that should be killed, the deviant eternals like yourself are monsters misshapen and crave death..."
sui-san moved in closer to thanos who was shakinghis head, "but I do not crave such things mother" thanos feeling desperate to make his mother understand.
"DON'T CALL ME THAT IM NOT YOUR MOTHER!" sui-san yelled pulling out a knife and holding it out to thanos neck.
"you may not crave death yet but you will your kinda always do... they killed ny family their own blood." thinking of the pain full memory made sui-san eyes burn with tears.
"I TOLD THEM TO KILL YOU TO GET IT OVER WITH THAT YOU WILL BE THE END OF US ALL BUT THEY WOULD NOT LISTEN TO ME NO ONE NOT EVEN A'LARS, MAKING ME INSTEAD KEEP THE MONSTER THAT WILL LONG FOR DEATH WITH A LUST FOR BLOODSHED!"
Sui-san pinned thanos to a wall of the castle blade pressed to his neck, his eyes glued on him mothers
"I should of done this the day you where born." the hate pouring out of her entire being.
thanos felt something enter him he didn't fight it he just let go thinking his mother he has only had love for has only ended him, instead when he opened his eyes cause he did not feel his blood flowing out he seen something else his mother pinned to the wall she had him to, her mouth slightly open gasping for air in pain her eyebrows came together as she slowly looked down between them. thanos let his eyes fall to where his mothers looked, his hand held the blade that was now all the way inside her right below her ribs. her hands came to lay on top of his, he felt someone else no something else holding him tightening their hold on his forearm. he turned his head to see what it was and seen another womans hands turning his head more to see who she was he was surprised to see the most lovely being he has ever seen.
"who...?" before he could finish his mouth was covered with red full lips mouth falling open letting the woman in was consumed with lust and something else he has never felt before.
"finish her my love" the voice of velvet said into his ear.
thanos felt his hands grip the blade and twist it twice then pulled it out quickly, the body slumped forward on his chest realizing this is the closest to his mother he's ever been felt the hate inside him grow.
he let his mothers body slowly fall to the ground, he was numb he didn'tknow what to think. he just stood there as the woman that was behind him move around him to stand fully in front of him, she pulled his face down to look at her.
"I am death, I have come to you to make you my own... look me in my eyes and tell me that you have sacrificed your mother for me and I will never leave you I'll give you power no one has."
Thanos looked into deaths deep empty eyes and shook his head yes...
Thanos eyes opened when he heard the doors open a smile came to his face and he turned around to face the guest and his lovely pandora enter the room,
"welcome to my home come and sit join me and we will share stories of what has led us to where we are now"
the two looking at each other did as asked giving thanos a more deeper darker smile on his face.
"let me tell you a story"
that's the end of chapter 3 i had a little bit of a hard time figuring out where to take my story after chapter two, i thought i wrote myself into a corner but i think i have fixed it and now i can continue on. and i know not all of what i wrote about thanos history is not what is in the comic books but i thought if you all wanted to read something that was word for word about thanos you could read the comic books, i just hope that you guys enjoy it and don't judge my story to harshly. please read and review.
